HOW TO REGIN-

The world is full of work yet to be done
1t is as true to-day as it ever was that
the method of beginning any work has
very much to do in shaping its result.
In no field of labor does this observa-
ton apply with more force than in for
estry. On these plains we are at the
mercy of the hot wind in summer and
the arctic blizzard in winter What
water is absorbed by the earth during
any rainfall is at the mercy of the winds
which hold high carnival in generally
successful endeavor to pump it from the
earth and carry it to regions where it
will find large quantities of water for
company. Now, there will be no division
OF sentiment on our proposition that what
we most need on these plains is: First
To prepare the ground for absorbing as
nearly as possible every drop of water
which falls; second-to save as nearly as
possible every drop of water which the
soil has retained. tits clear that the rem
edy lies in the direction of growing tim
Der on large scale, and thus accomplish
ing with one stroke the two vital points
of preparing the ground for receiving
gratefully the rain as it falls, and retain
ing it afterwards by tanning the now
ferocious winds. This is plain talk.
Anybody who wishes to do SO can under
stand. He who fairly understands it
will be prepared to befriend western
Kansas. 1t is no friendship for this re-
gion or for humanity for any one to come
here to ive unless he rises above ignor-
ing these great facts.
If, then, it is conceded that we do not
want to set at defiance all the palmer
rules of civilized life, we have reached
the point of being interested in how to
begin the growing of timber. Permit US
TO impress upon you the simple lesson
which nature teaches on this subject.
How does any country receive its water
supply as far as natural causes are con-
cerned? The principal method is through
the rain falling directly upon its surface.
There are exceptions to this rule. The
watering of the Nile country is an ex-
ample. In western Kansas we have to
look only to the principal cause just
named. It is well-known principle that
in the matter of water supply in region
whose surface is as billowy as the waves
of the ocean, water store-houses are an
indispensable auxiliary OF desirable

WHILE August Broker, of Belle

WHILE August Broker, Of Belle
vile, was unloading wagon of corn in
Ness City, on Wednesday of last week, a
gun which he was drawing from under
some sacks was accidentally discharged,
and the load entered the f1eshy part Of
his hand and ranged upwards along the
arm, close to the bone, and emerged near
the elbow. While the wound is bad
one, painful and likely to lay him up for
awhile, the Times says the arm will be
saved from amputation.

Children Home at NIGHT.
Henry Ward Beecher.

Keep your children at home at night.
There is many sod that lies over the
child whose downfall began by vagrancy
at night, and there is many child whose
heartbreaking parents gould give the
world if the sod did lie over them. What
a state that is for children to come to, in
which the father and the mother dread
their life unspeakably more than their
death! What a horrible state of things
that is, where parents feel sense of re-
lief in the dying Of their children! Then
say take care of your children at night.

TO the Women of Kansas.
By Helen nj. Cougar,

By the passage Of the law granting the
women OF Kansas the privilege of voting
and holding Office in all municipalities a
grave responsibility is placed upon you.
The eyes of the country will be concen-
trated upon your action under this new
order of things. If you shall fail in doing
your whole duty at the present crisis the
vicious elements of society will rejoice,
and the good men who have believed in
and trusted us to assist them in solving
some Of the great problems OF govern
ment that are upon us, will be disheart-
ened and discouraged. The three great
corrupting elements of social and politi-
cal life, viz: the saloon, the brothel and
the gambling den, have their power in
the laws and officers that shall shield
them. These are the most potent enemies
of the home, and it is but natural that
the ballot in the hands Of women should
remove these curses from behind the in
trenchments of the law. You have the
power to do this great service in your
hands. II you, the women of Kansas,
come en- masse SO the rescue, and see to
it that pure men are elected to public
service, your cities placed under control
of the moral, law-abiding elements of
society, the lesson will be so potent that
full franchise will be speedily granted all
women. May I not then urge you, dear
sisters, to at once use your individual and
organized effort to induce every woman to
register in all cities of first and second
class, before the registration books close,
March IS.
Please bear in mind the following in
structions:
You must appear before the city clerk
some time within ten days before the
day Of election. You will give your name
not your pet, nor your husbands name,
but the one by which you were christened
your age, occupation and residence, re-
ceiving a certificate of registration, which
you will be ready to present at the polls.
Elections in cities of the first end Sec
ond classes will be held on the first Tues
day of April.
No registration is required in cities of
the third class Elections will be held in
these on the first Monday in April. The
great work at present is registration.
Divide your cities in districts, take your
carriages and see to it that the mothers
who could not otherwise leave their little
ones are carried to the place of registra-
ton. Having been the author of, and So
constantly identified with the interests of
this municipal suffrage bill, and knowing
the earnestness and faithfulness of Kan
sas women, makes me sure that, of all
others. you will honor yourselves, your
homes and your state by fully performing
this duty. Do not falter, do not procras-
innate. would deem it great favor if
friends would report to me as soon after
the registration books close as convenient
The number of women registering in their
several cities. Please send these facts to
ne at Leavenworth, where I shall be un-
il April 6. Yours for the triumph OF the
home influence in politics.

An Ocullsl's Advice.

Keep shade OH your gas burner,
Never read or sew directly in
front Of the light, window or door.
1t is the best to let the light fall
from above, obliquely over the left
shoulder.
Never sleep So that on first
awakening the eyes shall open on
the light Of a window.
Never begin to read, write or
sew for several minutes after com-
ing from darkness to light.
Do not use the eyesighJ by light
so scant that it requires an effort
to discriminate, whether twilight,
moonlight or Oh cloudy days.
Finally, the moment you are in
stinctively prompted to rub your
eyes that moment stop the using
them.

A Woman's Laugh.

A woman has no natural grace
more bewitching than a sweet
laugh. 1t Is like the sound of flutes
on water. 1t leaps from her heart
in a clear, sparkling rill; and the
heart that hears it feels as if bathed
III the exhilarating springs. Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugl.
tive through the trees, led on ny
her fairy laugh, now here, now
there, now found7 We have. And
we are pursuing the wandering
voice to this day. Sometimes it
comes to US IN the midst Of care, or
sorrow, or irksome business; and
then we turn away and listen, and
hear it ringing through the room
like silver bell, with power to
scare away the evil spirit Of mind.

Thorough wedding is most inn
portant point in profitable onion
culture.
The land planted with early peas
and beans may be made to carry a

A little more care for the orna-
mental trees would add greatly to
the beauty and value of the farm
homestead.
The greatest economy in growing
corn consists in the manner OF
planting it by listing, afirms an
advocate of this plan.
AS a rule, allow a newly planted
grape to bear but a single shoot
10 not allow young vines to over
bear. Two clusters to CANE are
enough.

the spectacle of the animal trotting al

that he had left his burden behind
him, while the driver followed in no,
pursuit, much to the delight of the

The Work Begun.

Work has been begun in this county
on the grading of another railroad. As
has been frequently announced in
these columns, surveyors have been
at work in the TETON cations, and at
last route has been selected and a
force of hands has been put at work.
Mr.. Goode of this place was employed
last SATURDAY. morning to take a four
horse load OF Cinnamon and tools up
the cafion that leads past the old fort,
and the same day Del Hill went out
with two six-horse loads Of shovels,
picks, drills, powder and provisions.
These gentlemen returned Monday
night and report that the camp is es-
tablished at the head of the caf1on
near the northern end of Castac Lake,
a few miles above the old fort. 1t is
also stated that the surveyors are at
work in the valley and are headed for
this place.-(Kern County Echo.

DR.. Eay,s Sermon.

Rev. Eli Fay held Harvest
Home" services at the opera house
at IL A. NJ. yesterday. The opera
house was crowded and the stage was
beautifully decorated with the pro-
ducts of the soil. After the usual SER
vices and several fine pieces of appro-
pirate music by the choir had been
rendered, DR.. Fay took occasion to
announce his reasons for not taking
stock in the projected hotel on Tenth
street. When asked to take stock in
the hotel, DIR. Fay said, he enquired
as to whether it was to be run without
bar and was told that on the con-
trary it was to be fitted up with first
class bar, where all kinds OF liquors
would be kept on sale. On learning
this he refused to be connected with
it. 81 have always believed in the
temperance cause" continued DR..
Fay, "and from this stand l have ad-
vocated temperance and to take stock
in anything from which might derive
a revenue by the sale of intoxicating
drinks would brand me as hypocrite. +"
(The Doctor will not refuse to ac-
cept the advance in price on his prop
erty consequent upon the erection of a
hotel.)
DIR. Fay chose for his text Luke 16.
16-''The Kingdom of God" During
the course of his remarks Rev. Fay
spoke of Gods handiwork appearing
in all things; the wonderful mechan-
ism of the brain which causes one
molecule to invent a machine; an
other to compose grand poem; while
another evolves a beautiful painting,
is but the expression of Gods will
through the brain. This effort by
modern scientists to shut God out
from having aught to do with the
progress of the world OF thought is an
effort to rob us of the most beautiful
sentiments of life. 1t is we'll enough
to let scientists study the workings
of nature, but there are some
things they can never make the con-
scientious believe. Thousands of
brave men and noble women have
laid down their lives rather than give
up their cherished faith in God. All
things that men have said are but
echoes from God individualized; all
of mans inventions, from the mighty
Corliss engine to the delicate mechan-
ism OF a lady's time-piece; all of
mans discoveries and their applica-
tions can be traced to one force, and
the quintessence of that force is spirit.
A floating palace on its way to Liver
pool, a train of cars speeding across
the continent, message flashing
around the world, are but tokens
that as the years speed on man
understands more and more of the
wonderful workings of Gods creation.
The Doctor continued, that he could
not see why more stigma should be
placed upon the minister who goes
estray than the officers OF the law:
that no officer could administer the
affairs of government Alright until he
felt that he was acting under the guild
ance of the King of kings. The church
is dependant upon the mill, the plow,
the factory, and the salesroom, and
all these were dependent upon the
church. Everything in Gods king
dom went to make up one harmonious
whole, and all should work towards
elevating man to higher and better
plane of action.

The Lyon Case.

On Saturday the charges of indecent
exposure and assault to rape against
T. Lyon, of Boyle Heights, were in
vestigated before Justice Austin with
closed doors, and, after hearing the
complaining witnesses, dismissed.
There was found to be no foundation
for the charges and Mr.. Lyon feels
Justly injured at the indignity put
upon him. Prior to this charge he
bore an irreproachable character and
has been respected by all who knew
him, including a number of the best
citizens, who are pleased that the
charges proved to be without founda-
